Hard-Hitting Defense Against Drunk Driving Charges
An arrest for driving while intoxicated (DWI) can be intimidating and can have lifelong ramifications. If you've been pulled over and charged with DWI (known in some other states as driving under the influence or DUI), you need an advocate who will remain on your side throughout the process.

Fighting for Your Rights and Your Freedom
Many people who contact our firm for skilled defense against DWI charges are concerned that their actions when pulled over and at the police station may have repercussions. We are experienced at helping clients deal with the consequences of the actions they took during a DWI arrest.
- Whether you failed the breath test or refused to take it, we can help.
- If it is alleged that you failed field sobriety tests prior to being charged with DWI / DUI, we will aggressively challenge the results. These tests must be administered according to established standards - if they are not, the results are inadmissible. These tests, the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN), Walk and Turn (WAT) and One Leg Stand (OLS), could be affected by various factors, including nervousness, some medical conditions, age, general clumsiness and uneven ground.
- Whether you gave a breath or blood sample voluntarily, declined to give one or were forced to provide one after the police got a warrant from a judge, you still have options for an effective defense.
- Whether you made statements to the police or kept silent, we can help.
The outcome of your DWI case will depend on the facts and the applicable law, but we have been successful at helping many clients get favorable results when they were facing very serious consequences, including imprisonment and driver's license suspension.
Staying Focused on Fighting for Your Rights
We have a well-earned reputation of fighting for our clients. Sometimes there may be something to be gained from negotiating with prosecutors. For instance, in some counties, it may be possible to avoid a DWI conviction by participating in pretrial diversion programs.
We are familiar with the local prosecutors and are experienced at negotiating with them. Keep in mind, however, that there is a vast difference between knowing the prosecutors and being on their side. We are dedicated to defending you and fighting to protect you.
If you've been charged with DWI, you need an attorney who has in-depth knowledge of the applicable laws and is prepared to do what it takes to protect your rights. Contact Manske & Manske to learn more about our expert-level criminal defense services.
